OOPS September Paint Out (2 Days... September 14 and 15, 2013) celebrating our annual International Worldwide Paint Out

 

Dear OOPS artists... Make plans to attend this COOL Worldwide Paint Out event. As usual, this will be our September OOPS Paint Out... with so many members east of us it only made sense to accommodate them and participate in the Wilmington/Southport area. We can organize a car pool system via email to make travelling easier.

Bernie paints in the NC Mountains and Sweetgrass Paint Out...

I had a relaxing time painting "en plein air" in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains while on vacation at Fleetwood Falls, NC. I made many new friends and spent time with some old dear ones. The highlight of my painting adventures was painting with Jeremy Sams and Scott Boyle along the New River near Todd, NC. The crowning jewel was spending the day (August 9th) with some of the best NC plein air artists at the Sweetgrass Paint Out near Blowing Rock, NC. I painted with dear friends, Jeremy Sams and Brenda Behr in a meadow with an awesome view of Grandfather Mountain. We dodged the showers as best we could but it was well worth it!

In Art,
Bernie
